This lantern design reflects the Chinese people's vision of a bright future. Interestingly, whether in the past or present, ordinary people throughout history have had the same longing for a better personal future, focusing not on grand narratives but on each individual's desire for personal happiness. This work incorporates many Chinese symbols, such as the 'crane' and the 'toad.' Each side of the lantern showcases the Chinese people's hope for improvements in different aspects of life. Regarding personal happiness, we hope to find two people who can 'grow old together,' represented here by the mandarin ducks, which the Chinese have always regarded as birds of love. Everyone wishes for a long life, expressed in the idiom 'live as long as pines and cranes.' Each side corresponds to a specific idiom.

这个灯笼设计是中国人对美好未来的体现，有趣的是，不管在过去，还是现在，历史上的百姓对个人未来美好的憧憬都是一样的，不在乎宏观叙事，只是每个人对个人幸福的渴望。在这个作品里，承载了许多的中国符号，“仙鹤“ ”蟾蜍“等，每一面的灯笼d偶展现了中国人对生活不同方面变好得希望。对个人幸福，我们希望找到能够”白头到老“得两人，在这里对应的是从来被中国人誉为有情鸟的鸳鸯，在人生长度上，人人都希望延年益寿，所以有个成语叫做”松鹤延年“。这每一面都有对应的成语。所以我设计了这个互动性高的纸灯笼，这个纸灯笼其实是为了中国新年设计的。一家人在新年里折这个灯笼时，可以增加家庭趣味，同时也可以未来年的美好祈福
